Drinkmate Carbonation Bottle Recall Follows Reports of Explosions, Injuries

More than 100,000 carbonation bottles used with Drinkmate OmniFizz kits are being recalled, due to design defects that may cause the bottles to explode during use of the product.

Consumers are being advised to immediately stop using certain Drinkmate carbonation bottles because they may explode during use.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Drinkmate carbonation bottle recall on August 14, after receiving at least eight reports of the bottles exploding during use, including four cases that resulted in lacerations, impact injuries and hearing damage.

Drinkmate carbonation bottles are designed to withstand the pressure generated when secured in a Drinkmate OmniFizz machine, which carbonates beverages by injecting carbon dioxide into the liquid.

However, the recall notice indicates that in certain instances, these bottles may explode during use, posing a serious risk of injury to users and bystanders.

The current recall affects approximately 106,200 Drinkmate 1‑liter carbonation bottles with expiration dates between January and October 2026 printed on the side. The bottles were sold individually and as part of certain Drinkmate OmniFizz starter kits, featuring a clear polyethylene terephthalate (PET) body and caps in red, blue, white or black.

The bottles were manufactured in China and sold online at iDrinkproducts, Walmart, Amazon, Target and Home Depot from April 2023 through October 2024, priced at about $20 each or $130 as part of certain Drinkmate OmniFizz starter kits.

The CPSC is urging consumers to immediately stop using the recalled bottles and contact Drinkmate to receive a free replacement. However, officials have not specified the reason the bottles are exploding.

Consumers will need to fill out a replacement form and upload a photo of the bottle permanently marked with the word “Recall” before properly disposing of it. They will then receive a code to order the free replacement bottle through Drinkmate’s website, with shipping included.

Bottle Hazards

This is not the first time in recent months that certain bottles have been responsible for injuring consumers.

Earlier this summer, more than 800,000 Ozark Trail water bottles sold at Walmart were recalled due to a design defect that caused the lid to forcefully eject when certain liquids were placed in the bottle, resulting in two reports of permanent vision loss and another injury from being struck in the face.
